Anecdotes
The turning rickshaw wheel, consistently interspersed throughout the film, has several meanings. At a superficial level, it represents the life of Matsugoro and the passage of time. On a deeper level, it can be seen as symbolizing the Buddhist wheel of life. At the end of the film, the wheel stops, representing not just Matsugoro's death, but also his exiting of cyclic existence (reincarnation) through his selfless life and service to others.

Citations
Matsugoro: If I were a man of some learning I could be of help to you. But I'm just a rickshaw man. I'm useless to you.

Just Wonderful

First of all, you could never go wrong with a pairing of Toshiro Mifune and Hideko Takamine, two of the greatest actors that have ever been in film. Second, this tale of a rickshaw man known at the "Wild Matsu" who helps a young boy named Toshio and becomes a part of his growing up is told vividly through numerous scenes over time. Ms. Takamine plays Yoshiko, who was widowed soon after she met Matsu, and her performance is understated but essential to the film. Mr. Mifune, who is best remembered for works with the great Kurosawa, stretches his acting muscles greatly here, showing some vulnerability in a challenging role. There are so many films to recommend with Ms. Takamine and Mr. Mifune that are alternately entertaining and heartbreaking. This has both those elements and its a treasure of Japanese cinema.
